camber kit and bump stops

[sg11]

I just ordered some H&R springs and a SPC camber kit. I have been reading on here for a while and it seemed that a camber kit is needed to do an accurate wheel alignment but Ive been doing more reading and some say it isnt needed. Also Im reading conflicting posts on whether to cut the bump stops. Opinions?

It looks like the SPC kit is only for the fronts? Is there any camber kit for the rears, I'm not turning anything up so far? I'm also curious about bump stops, on my speed3 the fronts were tossed when I added the Bilsten struts, and I got cut rears from Fat Cat Motorsports. What is the solution for the 2s, if any?

From my experience with my own Mazda2 you'll need camber bolts up front if you go with small wheels and go low. With 17 inch wheels i do not need camber bolts at the front or back. I also did not cut my bump stops when i installed my Ksport suspension and it seems to be just fine.

the rear is a twist beam, so no camber adjustment required as the camber doesn't change through the suspension movement

I dunno about that, if anything the rears look like they ended up with worse camber than the front after installing my HR springs. And theres even a little wear back there now.
